I have one that I only use to make cornbread. Cornbread doesn't make it dirty and cast iron is the only thing that will give you a proper crust on the cornbread.
I use mine for steaks. Since I can put the whole thing in the oven after searing them.
Yeah, I use mine on the grill for the same reason. It's the only pan I have that can just get tossed on without worrying about anything melting or cracking
Yeah, I don't really eat steak. Or any meat in slab form actually.
I'm a vegetarian and use mine for pizzas and breads
Oh I'm not vegetarian I just don't like steak. I only eat beef or pork when it's cooked into something like a curry or stew because it has an unpleasant texture and no real flavour of it's own. But yeah breads are good done in cast iron.
That’s why it was originally called a cornbread pan. Cast iron is actually a miss translation.
Keeping the old tradional of cast iron misinformation alive.
Little Miss translation, we called 'er.
